Plenty of room clean and everything we needed for an enjoyable week made better by the good weather.

Stayed as a family of 4 adults and had a lovely time. The pictures don't do the cottage justice as it's HUGE! The cottage had quite literally everything we could need. We enjoyed watching the sheep, and were also lucky enough to get to watch deer and bats from the sofa! If we were ever back in the area we'd absolutely stay at barrow barn again :)

An excellent cottage. We couldn’t fault it in any way.
